No. 97,939. Specification of Letters Patent Application filed. April 22, 1907. Serial No. 369.680/

To all whom it may eoncem:j Be it known that we, Lrnwlo ADAM Trc, a subject of the Czar of'ltussia, and LOUIS NA- PoLoN BENJAMIN, a citizen of the United States of America, residents of 60 St. Gabriel street, in the city and district of Montreal in the Province of Quebec, in -the Dominion of Canada, have invented certain dew and useful Improvements in Methods of Making a Com osition of Matter for Masonry-Work, of whic i the following is a specification, The invention relates to a new and useful method of making a composition of 'matter for masonry work, and the object of the invention is to produce a mass, artificially, which in its consistency may be made of different degrees of hardness, varying from the consistency .of linoleum to the consistency ofgranite, and whereby floorings, walls and other parts of buildings may be built up of the manufactured material, either in slabs or one piece, and tiling, flag stones, walks and other structures may be made of a consistency to suit the particular surface to be covered. y In the manufacture of this com osition, we take one hundred parts water ata ow temperature, say 32 to 40- ,Fahn, this temperature being necessary to prevent the calcined lime from forming into lumps, as it is known that calcined lime and silicate -'of potash-above 40 Fahr. will form into lumps and thus make the pro er mixingof the mortar very diflieult. ith this water, I dissolve approximately 52 parts (by weight) of ma iesium i I1 m a chlorid of anhydrous form, obtame 'O tac ydrite composition made up of 2MgCl c801,, and 1211p, and to this mixture'is added one and one half parts of calcined lime or three parts of ma esium c I imagnesite or dolomite no ca cined) as the calcined lime absorbs twice the quantity of the water than the said magnesium carbon- 'ate. The mixture is then quickly stirred up and" while being stirred a )repared mixture is added thereto made up oi one part barium chl'orid BaCl three parts of silicate of )otash in owder form, two parts of owdered sulfuric chlorid at five hydrometer. I-he quantity oi the last named mixture is determined by the density required for the.li( uid cement and for the various purposes it should be at 40 hydrometer of Baum. The composition of matter is completed by the. mixing of inertcement, 1n'g proportions according to the form of masonry material required. For instance one part oxid may be usetl with seventy five parts of inert matters,

while the: li uid cement alrea y specl ed may be used rom one half part up to twent parts. The mixture of these materia s should be accomplished ina temperature not below 60 Fahn, or if it is not so done the product should be removed histan'tlywhere the temperature is not below 60 Fahr. The

utility'of this tempe ature may be fully .un

derstood, when it is taken into consideration that the heat is very essential int-he reaction to rendc'rthe mortar hydraulic, because if the masonry material 15 formed in a cool place, the compound never heats upand i the'refme. the silicate of potash would be powerless to transform the excess of magnesi'um chlorid into magnesium silicate contained in the oxychlorid formed, and thus transform itself into potassium chlorid and be set free as is necessary in this com osition.

In the re-action of the composition, t 1e block e siIi'c zitc"bf"iiotash= transforms the stone into silicate Iof ma nesium and the potash is mamssmaifixmmu MW a- ,we claim as our invention 1s: v

1. In the-herein described method of making a composition of matter for masonry w'- work, the mixture of a liquid cement by dissolving in water at a lo'vi temperature, approximately 32 to 40 Fahr., a magnesium chlorid of anhydrous form, obtained from a tachhydritecongosition made up of 2MgCl,, CaCl. and 12H" and adding to this dissolved matter one and one half parts "of calcined lime and quickly stirring said mixture and adding thereto a mixture separately prepared, composed of one part barium'chlo 10 0 rid, BaCl three parts silicateof'potash-tin powder form and two parts of sulfur-1c chlorid 7 at 5 li \'drometer, this latter mixture being poured in during the said stirring, in'qIuantities determined by the density reqniret ,then, taking a quantity of inert matters and an oxid and mixing said inert matters, oxidand liquid cement thoroughly together in matters as well as an oxid .(u iesium cal- 55 glnggl or calcined dolomite) W1 t e iqui 1e a term vary suitable quantities and finally letting the approximate minimum isulfuric chlorid at 5 mixture so made set in a temperature at an of 60 Fahr. 2. In the herein described method of makmg a. composition of matter for masonry ter mixture being poured in durin the said stirring, in quantlties determined by the density required, then taking a quantity of inert matters and an oxid and mixing said inert matters, oxid and 1i uid cement thoroughly together in suitab e quantities and ally letting the mixture so made set in a temperature at an approximate minimum of 60 Fahr.

Signed at the city and district of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, in the Dominion of Canada, this 20th day of April, 1907.
